Dozens of existing studies document the history of the reservation trading-post system.! However, the names ofthe Navajos, or Dine, who worked at posts seldom appear in this his­ toricalliterature.2 In the recent past, historians have labored to create more inclusive narratives, incorporating the stories of peoples who made crucial but unacknowledged contributions to western history.3 Kathy M'Closkey is currently Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University ofWindsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

  • Sequent Occupance in the Central City Area, Colorado Lvl Ary Grace Gillespie Man's Desire for the Precious Metals Has Taken Him Into Remote Areas of the Earth
    1,8 FIELD AND LABORATORY Acknowledgments: Collection of meteorites in the vicinity of Odessa crater was with the cooperation of Mr. George Pavey, Mr. Gray Pattillo, and Mr. Blake Hawk, all students or former students of Southern Methodist University. In the absence of the authors at the meetings of the American Association for the Advance­ ment of. Science, Professor Howard A. Meyerhoff kindly placed the paper in the hands of Professor Kirk Bryan for reading. The writers wish to express their appreci­ ation to Professor Bryan for his written comments and criticism of the paper, as well as for additional information on distribution of meteorites about Odessa Crater. Sequent Occupance in the Central City Area, Colorado lvl ary Grace Gillespie Man's desire for the precious metals has taken him into remote areas of the earth. This untiring search for gold lead to the exploration of the canyons of the Rocky Moun­ tains. In 1859 there appeared in an isolated mountain val­ ley of northern Colorado, a small settlement, later to be known as Central City, that boomed suddenly, lived bril­ liantly, and died quickly, only to be revived in 1932. In the summer of 1849 seven natives of Georgia while on their way to California made camp at the confluence of Cherry Creek and South Platte River. That autumn gold was discovered in the stream gravels, but winter weather prevented the prospectors from exploring the creek to its source. When spring came they went on to California, and remained there for several years prospeccting for gold. Later, these men became discontented, sold their claims in California, and returned to Georgia.

Doctoral Committee Julian Hook, Ph.D. Kyle Adams, Ph.D. Blair Johnston, Ph.D. Brent Wallarab, M.M. December 9, 2015 ii Copyright © 2016 Michael McClimon iii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the help of many others, each of whom deserves my thanks here. Pride of place goes to my advisor, Jay Hook, whose feedback has been invaluable throughout the writing process, and whose writing stands as a model of clarity that I can only hope to emulate. Thanks are owed to the other members of my committee as well, who have each played important roles throughout my education at Indiana: Kyle Adams, Blair Johston, and Brent Wallarab. Thanks also to Marianne Kielian-Gilbert, who would have served on the committee were it not for the timing of the defense during her sabbatical. I would like to extend my appreciation to Frank Samarotto and Phil Ford, both of whom have deeply shaped the way I think about music, but have no official role in the dissertation itself. I am grateful to the music faculty of Furman University, who inspired my love of music theory as an undergraduate and have more recently served as friends and colleagues during the writing process.
